I am trying to use a 3c590 with the 0323 SNAP and I am having
problems.
The card is marked up as rev B but it is probed as an old 'faulty'
card, I understand from previous postings that this is a problem with
invalid probing so I ignored that.
On power-up the card is detected properly but hangs on ifconfig, only
a ctrl-c will allow the boot process to continue (it also hangs on
sendmail not surprisingly).
No network activity is then allowed.
If I then reboot the machine everything works fine.
Is there any additional configuration I need to do as I don't really
want to scrap the card.
Has the driver been improved since this snap, and if so should I be
able to merge the newer driver into the kernel without any problems?
Cheers
